Don't Wanna

It was a balmy 13 degrees outside yesterday.(It's -3 right now.)The sun shone, the snow sparkled, my breath was a cloud and my nose hair froze. Winter in Wisconsin! I don't mind it, as I grew up in North Dakota and to winter I say HA! Every day this week I have been asked a question by my daughter. A question I already know the answer to but try to explain in gentle terms why my answer is no. "Mom, can you play outside with me?" I give her all valid reasons. I mean it's cold, dark and windy! I gently tell her,"Not tonight." While my mind screams I! Don't! Wanna! Play! Outside!

I hear ya. Last night when we entered the mall, 3/5 of us were coatless. Then, coming OUT of the mall, those three were running like mad!! Went into the restaurant, thankful to get in, shivered through dinner and shook all the way home.

What was THAT?? Cold front, my bum. Man, I'm getting old.
